FORT COLLINS -- After a first half where Josh Robinson said both teams struggled to find a flow, the Thompson Valley High School coach was pleased to see an increased output in the second half. But after his Eagles were able to carry a lead into the final frame, host Fossil Ridge gunned his team down from outside, posting a 68-62 victory

"The fourth quarter was close," Robinson said, his team sitting at 5-4 heading into the break. "We had some untimely turnovers, and they went down and got those 3s and were able to extend it out a bit. It was a good second half."

Fossil Ridge hit five of its nine 3-pointers in the final frame, and also hit eight of 10 free throws. Thompson Valley was led by Collin Smith's 16 points, while Mike Olivas picked up all 12 of his from behind the arc.
